Pakavada / Ribbon Pakoda

As kids, when ever the study leave starts my mom used to make snacks and store it so that while we would be home the entire day, we could keep munching. Pakavada, used to be one such snack. I used to love pairing it with soda. Yes, you heard it right. It may sound strange but yes I used to loooove it. May be because back then I didn't use to have tea/coffee and so when I had it with sizzling drinks(non-alcoholic) I kind of got hooked on to that combination. But I still like it.

Well, these are super easy to make and equally addictive. You know, like, when you are watching a movie having popcorn and realize that they got over only when you can't get hold of another popcorn, its the same with this snack. The request to make these 'again' used to be put up to my mom within a day or two of her having made these in bulk. Yes, they would have been munched down by us, pretty quickly.
